The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1147 Competing for the rear position (4)
Qingchen sneered and said: "Why do you think that bird flies to Concubine Ning's Palace so punctually every night? If it wasn't for someone who deliberately domesticated it, it would be so obedient?"

"Isn't it? Tomorrow, Xiao Xiangzi will go to perform the spectacle of Jinlin's worship for everyone, and the servants will follow to see it. Could it be that Xiao Xiangzi can still be a queen?" Looking at Qinxue's relieved expression , Yun Lan couldn't help shaking her head and said: "You girl, you are really outspoken."

Seeing that Zi Jinxiu had also returned, Qingchen's face was full of embarrassment, and he couldn't help but smile too.Concubine Ning's methods may really be able to deceive some people in this era, but for her who came from thousands of years later, she really has no technical content.

Jinxiu asked in puzzlement: "How does the empress plan to let Xiao Xiangzi attract those Jinlins?"

Seeing that it was getting late, Qingchen turned around and went to rest in the inner room. While changing clothes, he said, "It's not difficult, but I put fish food somewhere underwater in advance, then wrapped it up, and waited for everyone to eat it." I went to the water's edge to watch, and then cut through the thing that wrapped the fish food with a knife when no one had a spare knife. The fish food spilled out, and naturally it would attract the fish to come to look for food. It's just a small trick. Besides, the peony in her palace Well, it’s just cultivated in some flower houses outside the palace, blooming out of season, just to get a lottery and sell it at a good price, nothing unusual. Even my palace can’t fool me, and I want to deceive the emperor, what a joke!”

Qinxue lowered the window to the north, turned her head and said, "How many people are there who are as smart as your empress, Concubine Ning is really ashamed to lose face."

"It's not that I can't get along with her, it's that she's asking for shame. If I don't do anything this time, everyone in the world will think that I'm going against the sky and forcing the queen to death first. She also used insidious means to snatch the position that should belong to her, and she sincerely wanted to ruin Bengong's reputation. Even if she couldn't get it, it wouldn't make Bengong feel comfortable, and it's thanks to her that she did it."

It doesn't matter if Qingchen wants to kill Concubine Ning's vigor, she has ruled the Six Palaces these years, no matter whether the concubines under her are really surrendered to her or not, but under her prestige, she is still awe-inspiring. What happened tonight Afterwards, at least she will be ashamed of her nose, making her a joke for the whole palace, and letting people see her ambitions and means.

Qinxue helped Yun Lan cover her with a quilt, and said with a smile: "I have never seen your mother confront anyone like this. We always put up with them before, but now let them know that we are not easy to provoke." of."

Yun Lan pursed her lips and smiled, went to extinguish two candles and said, "Your Majesty, go to bed first, the Emperor may be busy until late at night again tonight, and he will probably rest in the imperial study if you are tired, so please don't wait, Your Majesty."

"Understood." This hour has not yet come, and I'm afraid it won't come. Qingchen is pregnant and can't stay up late like before, so she closed her eyes and went to bed first.

The next morning, the emperor came down to have breakfast, passed by the imperial garden, and saw the so-called divine bird phoenix, with messy feathers and blood dripping from its mouth, hanging desolately on a tree branch. Well, at least give Concubine Ning some face."

Fu Quan replied with a suppressed smile, "Yes, I will let someone do it, my slave."

Walking to the vicinity of Yingyue Pool, he saw many court ladies and eunuchs gathered there to watch the excitement. The emperor couldn't help but came over with great interest and asked, "What's so interesting that you all gather here?"

When the emperor opened his mouth, the maids and eunuchs looked back and immediately pressed down on those kneeling on the ground. Xiao Xiangzi raised his head and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the servant saw Jinlin from Yingyue Pond chasing after Concubine Ning the other day. It was a strange scene, but I couldn't understand it, so I asked the imperial concubine when I went back, and the imperial concubine taught the servant a method, and the servant wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"Oh? What's the solution?" The emperor seemed to be interested.

Xiao Xiangzi took out a pack of fish food wrapped in oiled paper, put it into the crevice of the underwater rocks on the shore, and said, "The emperor went over to have a look, and after a while, he made sure of these golden scales, and they all ran to the emperor's feet. "

The emperor walked to the shore with a clear smile on his face, and sure enough, all those brocade scales swam over in groups, and the densely packed appearance was really impressive.

"Now that you know it, there's nothing strange about it, let's go away." The emperor took Fuquan to the direction of Qifeng Palace, and asked incredulously as he walked: "Fuquan, you didn't suspect that the divine bird was fake before?" of?"

Fuquan followed beside him, bowed and said, "My lord, how dare I doubt the divine bird? The appearance of a phoenix is ​​a once-in-a-lifetime auspicious omen. Besides, when the emperor chooses a queen, I really think it is God's will."

"As far as women are concerned, it is not easy to come up with such a strategy. If you can fool most people, you are successful, but why don't the imperial concubine believe it?" Even though he said this, the emperor was very happy in his heart. He didn't believe it, even if there was such a thing as the god bird choosing the master, it still couldn't change his determination to make Qingchen the empress.

Fuquan said with a smile: "The imperial concubine is very intelligent and knowledgeable, so it is reasonable to have doubts about strange omens."

"Even if she has doubts, how can she have the guts to let Jinxiu shoot down that divine bird?" For thousands of years, people have only worshiped the divine bird like the phoenix, and even dared not She had evil thoughts about it, where did she have the courage to let Jinxiu shoot it?He must have seen through the doorway to make this decision.

"She always does something unexpected, which surprises me."

The rumors raging in the palace for the past few days finally ended with a joke, and the emperor felt a lot more relaxed.

At this time in Yonghua Palace, Concubine Ning hadn't known about the change, until Xue Yan bumped in with a pale face, Concubine Ning asked displeasedly: "What's wrong with you, why are you so flustered?"

Xueyan was frightened, and said hesitantly: "Madam, our phoenix bird was shot last night and hung on the branch of the imperial garden. Everyone who passed by this morning saw it, and some servants came to see it. Excited, everyone in the palace now knows that the phoenix is ​​fake. And..."

Concubine Ning's face darkened, she slapped the table heavily and asked, "What else?"

Xueyan shivered all over, shrank her shoulders and said in a trembling voice: "There is also the matter of Jinlin, the imperial concubine somehow figured out how to let Xiao Xiangzi perform in Yingyue Pond for everyone to see. I am having fun with people there, even the emperor... has seen it."

"What did you say!" Concubine Ning came up in one breath, her face was livid with anger, and she turned red in an instant. She coughed violently and stroked her chest and said, "Even the emperor understands, so what face will I have to face in the future?" To everyone?"

Xueyan rushed up to help her, "Mother, don't be angry..."
